Another racially-charged message has been seen posted on the campus of Florida Gulf Coast University. A student, who didn't want to be identified, told Fox 4 that a flyer that read "White guilt: free yourself from cultural Marxism" was attached to a lamppost outside the campus library. The flyer has already been removed.

The flyer also shows a web site link to a American Vanguard, which has other messages such as "White America is under attack" and "Defend your race, defend your country."

"To see something like this on campus is pretty disappointing, especially for the third time in a row," said FGCU student Andre Williams.

In October, a message that said "Kill the N------" - with a stick figure hanging from a tree - was found written on a dry-erase board outside an FGCU professor's office.

A few weeks later, another racial slur was found on a dry-erase board at the library that said "Noose-Tying 101." 

While university police are investigating both incidents, they haven't found the person or persons responsible.

University officials told Fox 4 that they only found out about the "white guilt" flyer through news reports, and aren't planning to do any follow-up on it.

"Look through (surveillance) cameras to find out who put the poster up," Williams said. "It's very simple, very easy to look...and try to identify a student's face."

"White guilt" flyers have also appeared on at least two other college campuses: the University of Central Florida and Purdue University.
